Comparison of short-term therapeutic effects of acupoint catgut embedding and crude herb moxibustion on allergic rhinitis

Objective To compare the short-term therapeutic effects of acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) and crude herb moxibustion (CHM) on allergic rhinitis in the dog days. Methods Seventy-two cases were randomly selected and divided into ACE group and CHM group (control group), 36 cases in each group. The patients were treated in the four hotest days in the summer, i.e. the first dog-day, the second dog-day, the consolidating day of the second dog-day and the last dog-day. Feishu (BL 13) and Yingxiang (LI 20) were used in the ACE group and Fengmen (BL 12), Feishu (BL 13), Pishu (BL 20) and Shenshu (BL 23) were used in the CHM group. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were assessed 10 days after the end of treatment. Results Thirteen cases and 5 cases were markedly effective, 22 and 21 were effective, and 1 and 10 were ineffective in the ACE group and the control group, respectively, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the therapeutic effect (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupoint catgut embedding has a good therapeutic effect on allergic rhinitis, with the short-term therapeutic effect better than that of crude herb moxibustion.
